The special topic is a special highlight to honor the 100-year journey of formation and development of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism, starting with Thanh Nien newspaper founded by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc in 1925.

Since then, the revolutionary press has become an elite force on the ideological front, spreading Marxism-Leninism, calling for the struggle for national liberation, encouraging revolutionary movements and reflecting people's lives through historical periods.

Four main periods are depicted in the exhibition, including: the period of fighting against feudal colonialism (1925–1945); the period of resistance against France (1945–1954); the period of resistance against the US, unifying the country (1954–1975) and the period of construction, innovation and integration (1975–2025).

In each period, the press plays the role of a "sharp weapon" of the revolution, as Uncle Ho taught: "Press cadres are also revolutionary soldiers".
